Chapter 85: Sweet Rewards
The System to show all the rewards on the same page, but Jian had to keep an eye on whatever Silverfish and Fang were doing. As such he merely listened and tried to keep in his excitement. It proved to be a nearly impossible task.
[ Reward for the plus one relationship with the Savage Band: The User will now be seen as friendly by the members of this faction and can give out orders to the members who respects him. The User has received a package ! ]
[ Savage Band Rank One package: Token of the King ( Allows the user to command the forces of this faction. Can only be used one time and does not work on the members of this faction who are stronger than the user. ), 100* Top Quality Iron Blades. ]
The Token of the King had Jian close his mouth in a hurry as he tried to contain his laugh. Fang noticed it but thought Jian was laughing because Silverfish was currently slapping him with the map that had been laid down on the table.
However Jian got curious about the iron blades. Looking at his inventory he saw they were all bundled up in a single spot. The symbol that represented this bundle of weapons was a small box with blades sticking out of it. Jian clicked on the icon and got a quick description of what the bundle contained. It had many different blade weapons. Swords, daggers, axes, etc...However they were all marked with Top Quality.
[ I would highly recommend giving those weapons to the Savage Band. It will strenghen them, giving you a strong bond with this group and will slightly augment the chances of that expedition's success. Although I must say, I have been listening to those two children and the plan seems highly risky. It might give you a negative relationship with the Flies. I will also take this moment to tell you that the rewards you receive for each factions are different. You won't get a token of the king for each of the factions that reach the rank one relationship. ]
Jian thought about it for a second. It wasn't a bad idea, however he still needed to keep some weapons just in case. He saw a discard option besides the bundle's icon. He clicked on it and discarded a few weapons from the bundle. He would give most of it to the savage band, but it was still good to have some weapons inside his inventory. They were extremely basic, but a top quality iron weapon was still better than anything.
Whilst he thought about what the system had said on the rewards, said system continued on and listed out the next rewards.
[ Reward for the Plus Two relationship with the Peizhi's royal family: All the members of this faction will see you as a friend. The User can now recruit the members of this faction into his own much more easily. The User has received a package ! ]
[Peizhi's Royal Family Rank Two package: Token of Telepathy ( Allows you to talk to one member of this faction no matter where you are in the world. Works everywhere but only one time. ), Peizhi's Royal Seal ( The official seal of the royal family. Will allow the User to be recognized as an ally of the Peizhi Royal Family. Can be used infinitely. ) ]
And now, he was salivating. It was Silverfish's turn to notice what was going on, but he got yelled at by Fang and punched the man in the face. Seeing Jian salivate for no reasons while giggling to himself was quite creepy.
'Okay, next ! I want more....' Jian thought.
[ Reward for the Plus One relationship with the Li Zhang's Royal Family: The members of that faction will now see you as friendly. Since you are extremely close to an important member of that faction, your relationship with that faction will get better much faster. The User has received a package ! ]
[ Li Zhang's Royal Family Plus One package: Token of Territory ( All beings who lives in the territory owned by this faction will be friendlier to the User. Merchants will give out better prices and the risks of being attacked on the territory will be lessened. ) ]
This one could be immensely useful. The Li Zhang's Kingdom had many tourists and as such, the merchant guilds had built many shops on it's territory. These shops sold many things that Jian would come to need in the future. And if his order was to have a base, he would need to buy materials and hire workers. As such, this token would be of great help.
This got his giggling to become much louder. The girl who had been with Fang noticed this and scooted closer to the huge man.
"Huh, what's wrong ?" Fang asked her. She only pointed at Jian and Fang gulped.
[ Reward for the Plus One Relationship with the Akaryuu Knight Order: The members of this faction will see you as friendly. The User has received a package !]
[ Akaryuu Knight Order Rank One package: Seal of Recommendation ( If given to someone who has at least a neutral relationship with the Knight Orders, the person chosen will be able to join the orders right away. Can be used by the User himself. Basic Knight Order full body armor* 20 ( The basic armor of the knight orders. It is devoid of any markings and covers the whole body. It's a light armor that allows a lot of movements while offering great protection. It does not come with a helmet. ) ]
'More and more equipments. I can't give those armors to the savage band though. I will keep those for my next recruits...Or the Savage band if I can really recruit them and have them as my subordinates, but nothing is decided yet. ' Jian thought.
' You could also wear it yourself, kiddo.' Mara chimed in.
' .....I don't really like armors, but I gotta say I really should wear it. Defense is a weakness of mine and pain resistance doesn't protect me. ' Jian thought. He clicked on the icon to see how the armor looked and it was exactly as the system described it. A light armor that looked like it was made of scales. It looked much thinner than the royal guards' armors, but it would still protect him more than his cloak of the unbound. Plus he could equip the cloak and the armor at the same time since the cloak wasn't seen as an armor itself.
He would look like some sort of dark knight like that, but it would be great for him. Although people might wonder how he got such an armor. If anyone asked he would just tell them he had his ways. Any excuses would have flaws and could be destroyed easily.
But once again, this greatly excited Jian. At this point, Silverfish had stopped hitting Fang, and everyone in the tent was looking at Jian weirdly. They were all narrowing their eyes whilst watching him giggle to himself like some sort of cliche villain.
"Is he going to be ok ?" Fang asked.
"Yeah...Maybe, I don't know. He must be thinking about the expedition. He clearly wants to get to the dragon and I must admit..I wanna know why." Silverfish answered.
[ Reward for the Rank Five relationship with the Poisonous Raja Sect: The high ranking members of this faction will now see you as a great asset they cannot possibly lose. The lower ranking members will now see you as a superior and all those who are weaker than you will respect you enough for you to command them easily. The User has received a package ! ]
[ Poisonous Raja Sect Rank Five package: Poisonous Raja's First Sutra ( A scroll containing three techniques created by the first students of the legendary Poisonous Raja. ), Token of Relationship ( An extremely powerful token that can be used on any member of this faction. Will give a great boost to the User's relationship with said member. Per exemple a member that would see you as an ennemy will instantly see you as a trustworthy friend. This token can prove useless against members who are too powerful or who can counter mind control. ) ]
He couldn't faint at the moment. There was still one more to go...But this....This was already too much for him to handle. This was beyond what he had first thought about. Those were great boons that could prove immensely useful in the near future.
At this point, everyone had retreated to the back of the tent, too scared of Jian to remain closer to him.
[ Reward for the Rank Two relationship with the Wukong Imperial Family: All members of this faction will now see you as a friend. The User has received a package ! ]
[ Wukong Imperial Family Rank Two package: Monkey Sage Staff ( A staff mimicking the staff of the Legendary Sun Wukong. It's on par with a Mortal Realm weapon of the highest form. Can only reveal it's true potential to a master of the staff. It will become a yanhua type equipment if wielded by a member of this faction. ), Token of Territory ]
That was the last straw, he couldn't keep it in anymore. Silverfish , Fang and the girl immediately wanted to escape from the tent once Jian stood up and yelled.
" HELL YEAH !!!!!"
